Why is fluorine able to stabilize the highest oxidation state in some compounds?

Options

  1. ADue to higher lattice energy
  2. BDue to higher bond enthalpy terms
  3. CDue to both higher lattice energy and bond enthalpy terms
  4. DDue to lower lattice energy and bond enthalpy terms

Correct answer

C. Due to both higher lattice energy and bond enthalpy terms

Step-by-step solution

Fluorine's ability to stabilize the highest oxidation state is due to either higher lattice energy or higher bond enthalpy terms in compounds like VF5 and CrF6.
